What are the Challenges in Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy?
Despite its advantages, nanoscale IR spectroscopy faces several challenges:
- Complex Instrumentation: The integration of AFM and IR spectroscopy requires sophisticated instrumentation and precise alignment. - Sample Preparation: Preparing samples for nanoscale IR spectroscopy can be challenging, especially for biological samples that may require special handling. - Data Interpretation: Interpreting the IR spectra at the nanoscale can be complex and often requires advanced data analysis techniques.
